New Shamisen World Fusion Release! (Brisbane Ladies)

New song from Waves of Harmony (the long-awaited 40 song fusion project) is here!! Brisbane Ladies is one of my most favorite Australian cowboy songs. An old friend (Ron Swenson) taught it to me when I was 12 (we’d play clawhammer banjo together during the weekly Santa Cruz jams), and that song has remained my top songs. 21 years later, I finally have an opportunity to play it fully realized! Lyrical correction: “Rovers“ should be “drovers“. I didn’t realize I left the ’d’ out until it was released, but close enough! I reckon drovers have roved from time to time. Producing this 40 song series was a huge endeavor, and I need support to make more fusion music. If you enjoyed this work of love and want more, please check out our GoFundMe page and enjoy some fabulous rewards! Get it on BandCamp!
